The rebrand

This new name reflects our renewed vision and commitment to helping clients navigate the evolving landscape of foreign and domestic investment analysis and attraction. At the same time, it upholds the authority and credibility that has made the Financial Times a trusted source of global business insight for over a century.

The rebrand to FT Locations is a strategic move to unify the offerings of fDi Intelligence, GIS Planning, and the acquired product and consulting assets of Wavteq Group Limited under one cohesive brand.

As part of the Financial Times, we leverage the FT's trusted global reputation for delivering authoritative business intelligence. We aim to continue offering cutting-edge data, mapping tools, and insights to support and empower your investment decisions.
